Danny, thanks so much for the info. Man this gets complex quick. Gotta love the COW 🙂 !!

Danny – Thanks for the response. Is there a way to access the IG stream in Encore? How did the folks at Blue Sky make their BR? I am still stumped on how to make a transition that will work on a BR with Adobe Encore. Can it be done? or perhaps its operator error?

Needed to make a few more blu-rays last night of the same project as above. when I launched Encore the program could not find the transcoded assets so I started a new project in Encore CS6. In AE this time the menu transition was rendered with the Blu-Ray H.264 preset available in AE CS6. Again the transition worked fine in simulation mode, however when I burned the Blu-Ray I got the same result. Menu then goes to black, plays transition then goes to black, then plays the film.
Using a Samsung Blu-Ray Player, its about two years old.
Going to look into Toast for burning Blu-Ray now.

Bill – Thank you for the reply. I am playing the burned disk in my Samsung BR player. I will check the encode of the transition and make sure it is the same as the film.
And speaking of encodes, I first had “use Media Encoder” checked when encoding the media. Then when I went to burn found that the files that ME had made were messed up. So restarted the project and had Encore do the encode. At least that way I got to disk!
Cheers!

I too am having stutter issues with my Mac Pro early 2009 dual quad core 2.26Ghz with 14gigs of RAM GT120 and flashed GTX 285 display cards. BMD Decklink Extreme 3 playing back a pro res HQ file that is 1hr and 28 min. From Raid 5 450megs sec. Running OSX 10.8.2 FCPX 10.0.7
One thing I found is if I have the video scopes running FCPX will not play without stuttering. I am not finding a way to have less resolution on the scope as was possible with FCP7. With scopes off I can play down for 10min or so before it starts stuttering and dropping frames. Playback quality is set to high as this is the final version of the film and want to see how it really looks. Is there a way to watch a film down in FCPX without it dropping frames and stuttering? Perhaps I need to upgrade the GT120?

Shawn – I was able to get it to work by programing the shuttle for the finder. Then it will work with Resolve. Contour is working on a new driver at this time.

Hey Paul – Did you ever get this sorted? I am also getting dropped frames.
Working on a project that was shot on RED. Got the job when it was halfway done, started by another editor. All clips were brought in as RED Native so the codec is REDCODE. 1080 24p. Not the way like to do things. Put all the footage on my RAID 5 storage that gets over 450 megs sec. According to an apple doc I should be able to play back this media if I select “unlimited RT” and knock down the playback quality to low, play base layer only, dont have scopes open, turn off multicam playback, only have one sequence open. All the clips have the orange bar up top. I can play down for less than one second before the system drops a frame. Yes I can turn this off, however playback becomes choppy and is difficult to determine if an edit is good or not.
The seq setting is Pro Res 4444 as per the apple guidelines.
The only way it plays back is after rendering.
Does anyone have luck working with REDCODE footage in FCP7

OK now the clip is showing up in the media pool. Not sure what is going on but…

Hi Peter -I tried this yesterday and found that Resolve did in fact generate new R3D files. However it seemed that Resolve would look at the clips used and start to generate the new clip from the in point of the first clip used and end at the out of the last section of that clip in the cut. Meaning if I used shot A four times in the cut (music video type shoot with long takes and many different shots) it would start at the first clip used from shot A and end with the last clip of shot A. So instead of a 20gb file it would be 9gb lets say.
What I am looking for is a way to trim the R3D files so that all the clips are discreet when I bring them into Resolve 9. Was able to get halfway there with Redcine-X, however I am unable to find the FCP XML that should be generated from the trim function, relinking to the new trimmed files. When I select a clip in the sequence that was trimmed it is still pointing back to the original R3D. Anyone know how I can find the FCP XML form Redcine 🙂

Great thanks Brian!!
